stronger tone developed in the market on
very large business.

preferred lss, and the general list showed
similar improvement. AT IL O'Clock the
market was quiet and steady to firm, at or
near the best figures reached.
During the afternoon Manhattan, which
opened at 100, dropped to 93s4 and recovered
to 90 The general list closed steady at
slight declines from the best figures OF the
day.
Wall Street was treated to some general
surprises to-day, and the temper of the
market underwent a sudden change for the
better When it was officially announced
that Baltimore & Ohio Express had been
sold to the United States Express Company,
the latter companys stock jumped so
points from yesterdays prices, and the street
more & Ohio properties were also disposed
of, thus settling the great deal. A great
rush to cover followed, and prices
shot up rapidly. The announcement
followed that the Oregon Transcontinental,
by disposing of some of its treasury
securities, had placed itself Eupon, firm
basis. Oregon Navigation responded with a
jump of 5 per cent. The entire list, with the
exception of Manhattan, closed at nearly
the best figures of the day Manhattan is

State Rights and Prohibition,



About year ago the United States
circuit court of Kansas gave a decis.
ion of great interest under the liquor
prohibition law of the State. The
owner of large brewery demanded
indemnity from the State for impair
ment of his property. His brewery
was built and equipped for certain
rurpose-making beer-and was of
little use for anything else. Moreo-
yer, when he built and equipped it,
making beer was a lawful business in
the State, and in following it he was
prosperous. But the prohibitory law
came in and made that unlawful
which before had been lawful; it
suddenly forbade him to do what he
had all along been permitted and
even encouraged to do. 1t prohibit
ted him from using his brewery for
making beer any longer--and its val
ne was thereby greatly impaired, and
that, too, by the direct act Of the
State. In fact, the State had not
only driven him from his hitherto
lawful vocation, but taken from him
one-halt his property without COM
pensation.
The United States circuit count
took the brewers view Of the case
and gave him judgment for indem-
nifty. But in Kansas a brewer or a
liquor dealer is not presumed to have
any rights-or very few-that the
public is bound TO respect, aud the
State authorities carried the case to
the supreme court at Washington,
where it is pending.
The decision of the final tribunal
10 awaited with no small interest. II
the judgment of the lower court is
affirmed, and it is established that
property destroyed or impaired by
prohibition laws must be paid for, it
will be serious backsst to that
csuse-Snd, in addition TO this, it
will set the Kansas Republicans
thinking on the subject of Stste
rights. If, on the other hand, tho de-
cision of the lower court is reversed,
it will establish it as a principle that
property used as distillery or brew
cry may be confiscated, and all brew
ere and distillers in the country are
pursuing their vocation at the con,
slant peril of that fate.

a giant, dug from the earth at depth
of sixty five feet, in South Louisiana,
had the same on exhibition over ID.

from the bones exhibited the giant

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct 2l.-After
two weeks of alternate travelling and
stopping to see the places of interest
along the route, found myself in
the city Of Los Angeles pronounced
Los Angless) on the Goth inst. After
leaving Salt Lake City the first stop
made was at
SACRAMENTO, THE CAPITAL OF CALI
FoRNIA.
The city is beautifully situated in
a level valley surrounded by fine
wheat lands on every side for many
miles. Its population is about 3d.
600 and, like Salt Lake City, the
place has not yet been struck by the
"boomers." 1t is a quiet, rather dull
looking town, where property is COM
paratively cheap and everything sells
high and the merchants appear to
have abundant leisure time to stand
about their doors and discuss the
glorious climate and fertile lands OF
central California and laugh at the
crowds of eastern suckers who pass
through the city en- route to the
southern portions of the State. The
houses in the business portion of the
city are, as rule, only one or two
stories high, with now and then
three story building, and great deal
of ground has been wasted in build
ing up the city. The streets are all
wide and the residences are sur
rounded by large shady yards, many
of them taking up an entire square.
In some OF the lawns orange trees
with green fruit on them were seen,
and all kinds of ornamental trees and
rare and beautiful flowers were grow
ing luxuriantly in every portion of
the city. Among the places of inter-
est is the Capitol building, which l
visited. The State house is a very
handsome one and the park of sever
al acres surrounding it is a veritable
paradise, where green grass, paved
walks, flower gardens and all the
many ornamental shade trees and
plants so common in this country
abound, aud fountains played and
birds made music ON all sides, while
The visitor, intoxicated with the beau
lies of art and nature, rested upon
the rustic seats, empowered in flow
ers and foliage. visited all parts of
the capitol building, concluding by
ascending to the dome, from which
a magnificent view could be had OF
the city and country around. One
was amply repaid for the exertior
and fatigue Of climbing more than
300 steps to reach the dome. The
country in every direction was one
broad expanse of level farm lands as
far as the eye could reach. l was
impressed with the fine character OF
the county Sacramento is backed by
and 1 see no reason why the city
should not develop steady and sub
stantial prosperity not founded on
any fictitious basis and in few years
become city of $4,000 inhabitants.
While in the city called on Mr..
Jas. o. Coleman, who showed me
many courtesies and kind attentions.
He is engaged in the real estate bust
ness and, like all Kentuckians out
here, is doing well. left Sacramen'
to about noon on the 18th and stopped
